"What are you doing here?"

After breakfast, Zhang Chu was picking his teeth, and then he remembered to ask Xiaoma.

Pony put down the bowl, took out a contract from his bag, and handed it to Zhang Chu.

"Brother! You take a look at this first. ”

Zhang Chu took it, only glanced at it and put it on the dining table.

"Settled?"

Pony nodded, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have talked to the other party." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the contract and turned a page, and spread it out in front of Zhang Chu.

"Like the previous contract, the clause specifically states that if the other party accepts the acquisition of foreign capital, the endorsement contract will be automatically terminated, and they will also pay 200 million liquidated damages."

It was the endorsement contract of Harbin Beer that the pony got it.

The previous cooperation between the two parties signed a three-year contract, which has expired this year.

Previously, Harbin Beer has been seeking to continue cooperation.

After all, Zhang Chu, the spokesperson, has made a lot of money for Harbin beer in the past 3 years.

Originally, the domestic beer market was a group of champions, but since Zhang Chu became the spokesperson of Harbin Beer, with his huge appeal, in just three years, Harbin Beer has become a monopoly.

The cooperation between the two sides has always been good, and the renewal of the contract is not a big problem at all.

However, before the expiration of the endorsement contract, news came out that an American-funded company was planning to obtain a controlling stake in Harbin Beer.

This made Zhang Chu, who has always only endorsed domestic brands, immediately stop the contract renewal negotiations.

Wait for the dust to settle on the acquisition, and then consider whether to continue to cooperate.

Zhang Chu has no right to interfere in the strategic decision-making of a large enterprise, but he has his own bottom line and will never allow anyone to touch it.

After reading and making sure that there was no problem, Zhang Chu took the pen handed over by Xiaoma and left his name on the contract.

After that, the two sides will hold a signing ceremony, which is all for the outside world to see.

After Zhang Chu finished signing, Zhang Ziyi took the contract curiously.

"An endorsement fee of 100 million in 5 years?"

Seeing this number, Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but be speechless.

She also has a lot of endorsement contracts, including many internationally renowned brands, but the highest endorsement fee is only $1 million a year.

Zhang Chu just endorses a beer brand, and he can get 20 million endorsement fees every year, which is too easy to make!

Not only is the brand endorsement fee high, but Zhang Chu's current salary also makes Zhang Ziyi unreachable.

In "Ambush on All Sides", which was filmed by the two of them before, Zhang Chu's salary was as high as 60 million, and Zhang Ziyi's external publicity salary was more than 10 million, but in fact he only took 6 million.

and the "Memoirs of a Geisha" that almost caused them to part ways, the official salary was $5 million, but the actual salary was only $500,000.

Roughly calculated, Zhang Chu made movies and TV series in 2004, plus endorsement fees, at least more than 100 million yuan.

This ability to absorb money is definitely first-class among domestic actors.

In fact, Zhang Ziyi is still too little, Zhang Chu played a UFC match last year, and the appearance fee was as high as 10 million US dollars, and he also enjoyed a 0.05% share of Tianfu Beverage's sales.

In 2004, Zhang Chu earned at least 500 million.

That is, the sales share of Hongxing Sports was donated by him to set up a foundation, otherwise, the income will increase a lot.

Moreover, if Zhang Chu is willing to accept the endorsement of foreign brands, the income in this area alone is just a small meaning.

Pony leaves after finishing her business, and if she doesn't leave, I'm afraid she'll have to cook for lunch.

There were only two people left in the family, Zhang Chu and Zhang Ziyi, who were full of food and drink, and each took the script and read it.

Belch?

"Are you going to continue to take on the show?"

Zhang Ziyi is already 3 months pregnant, and the two of them have discussed it before, and after a while, they will send her to go abroad to give birth, and it will be impossible to continue filming.

"It's not all your fault!"

Zhang Ziyi said angrily that the script in her hand had already decided to take it, and like "Memoirs of a Geisha", it is also the work of a big Hollywood director.

Now that she is pregnant, at least until the child is born, Zhang Ziyi doesn't have to think about work.

When Zhang Ziyi finished complaining, Zhang Chu was also relieved.

As long as you don't go filming with a big belly.

"It's just a play, when you finish giving birth, I'll make up one for you when the time comes!"

Zhang Chu previously re-signed an agreement with Warner, and there was originally only one film contract left, but now three more have been added.

If Zhang Ziyi wants to film, Zhang Chu can arrange it at that time.

"I don't want to work with you anymore!"

To Zhang Chu's surprise, Zhang Ziyi refused.

It is not surprising that Zhang Ziyi would refuse.

She and Zhang Chu collaborated on several dramas, with Zhang Chu as the core, they were "Hurricane Rescue 2", and the "Octagon Cage" that was infinitely beautiful at the Oscars.

As a result, in these two dramas, Zhang Ziyi basically played the role of a vase.

She didn't want to be a foil for Zhang Chu anymore.

If you want to shoot, then shoot the big heroine.

The requirements are so high, Zhang Chu really can't agree.

The premise that Warner can condone Zhang Chu to make any request is that he must be at the heart of the whole play.

Because of Zhang Chu's box office appeal, Warner will choose to let Zhang Chu go, putting aside this premise, everything is naturally free to talk.

As he spoke, the pony who had just left went back and went.

"Dropped something?"

"No, brother, Director Zhang called me just now, saying that he wanted to meet with you, and there was something very important."

"Which director?"

"Zhang Yimou!"

Since Zhang Chu returned to the capital, the original number has been useless, and the new number is only available to people who are particularly close to him.

If Zhang Yimou wants to contact Zhang Chu, he can only contact Xiaoma.

Two hours later, Zhang Chu dragged an injured leg and went to a building with the pony.

"Where is this?"

"The office building of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee!"

What?

What are you doing here?

Without waiting for Zhang Chu to ask clearly, he was directly pressed into a wheelchair by the pony.

"Brother! When you see Director Zhang later, you will understand everything. ”

Where is this?

A confused Zhang Chu was pushed into the building, then took the elevator to the third floor, knocked on the door of an office, and before he could enter, he was almost choked to death by the billowing smoke coming out.

People who smoke can't stand it, what are these people doing inside?

"Director Zhang!"

The pony didn't dare to go in, the quality of the air inside, she was afraid of breaking in and smoking another cancer, so she could only stand at the door and shout.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Zhang Yimou walked out and was stunned when he saw Zhang Chu in a wheelchair.

"You're ......"

As he spoke, he thought of the news he heard before, when Zhang Chu came back from the United States, he appeared at the airport naked in a wheelchair.

"Can you still raise it?"

Roll the calves!

"I'm a torn ligament, not an amputation!"

When Zhang Yimou heard this, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: "It's okay, what's it, come in and say." ”

Get in?

I will soon be a father of three children, and I have already planned to quit smoking.

"What's the matter? Still have to go in and say? Where are you...... Is there anywhere else? Look inside the house, it's almost impossible to see people. ”

Zhang Yimou subconsciously looked back, and was also startled by the visibility in the room.

"Hurry up and open the window, on a hot day, how about a sauna in the house?"

After speaking, he beckoned Zhang Chu and Xiaoma and went to the next room together.

Waiting for Zhang Yimou to explain the reason for inviting Zhang Chu over, Zhang Chu didn't even think about it, and directly refused.

"No, no, I don't dare to respond to such a big thing."

Performing at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games?

Zhang Yimou had mentioned it to Zhang Chu once before, but Zhang Chu didn't care.

He didn't expect that Zhang Yimou would really invite him.

"You haven't said anything about you, why can't you."

"You can't act anything!"

Zhang Chu refused very simply.

If Zhang Chu didn't know what the Olympics were and what it meant to the Chinese people, maybe Zhang Yimou opened his mouth, and he agreed.

But the problem is that now Zhang Chu already knows.

When the Olympic bid was successful, Zhang Chu also marched on the street with his neighbors to celebrate.

Let him perform at the opening ceremony, it is easy to say that the performance is successful, in case of a mistake, it will not be his face alone, but the whole country.

"Can you listen to me?"

Seeing Zhang Chu lying on the wheelchair with his hands in motion, making a gesture to leave, Zhang Yimou immediately held him down.

"This show, except for you, no one in China can perform it."

That's an exaggeration.

"Play what? I have to do it. ”

"Martial arts performance, but I want real kung fu!"

Zhang Chu was also stunned at this time.

He knew what Zhang Yimou meant by real kung fu.

"Does it also include light work?"

Zhang Yimou nodded again and again, he had seen Zhang Chu's amazing light body kung fu, and he was simply shocked at that time.

Later, he became the chief director of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, and after everyone voted and unanimously decided to incorporate Chinese traditional martial arts into the performance of the opening ceremony, Zhang Yimou first thought of Zhang Chu.

The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, after repeated discussions and studies, set a total of three tones.

Solemn, grandiose, showing national culture.

To put it mildly, these three words, in fact, can be summed up in a very simple meaning.

It's to open the eyes of those foreign hairs.

Zhang Yimou said a lot, and Zhang Chu also fell into deep thought.

The pony on the side was so anxious that he couldn't agree to come down for Zhang Chu, this is a great thing, others don't have a chance to go on it, Zhang Chu actually has to think about it.

"Brother! What a rare opportunity! ”

This traitor.

Zhang Chu glared at the pony, he hid it on the way here, no matter how he asked, the dead girl just wouldn't say anything.

Now it's really stumped for Zhang Chu.

Promise, Zhang Chu is afraid of mistakes, don't agree, as Xiaoma said, the opportunity is indeed rare.

"Director Zhang, I may ...... I don't have much time for rehearsals! ”

"It's okay, you just need to decide on the content of the performance, and just bring me the video when the time comes, as for the rehearsal, it's still early!"

The words have already been said to this part, if Zhang Chu does not agree again, it seems that he does not know how to lift.

"Okay, I'll take this errand!"
